History NightmareFuel / TheInvisibleMan2020

* Emily's death truly shows just how chillingly effective The Invisible Man's power is. One moment, she's allowing herself a moment of vulnerability with her sister. The next, she catches a glimpse of a knife floating in mid-air...then Emily's throat is cut, her arm lifted up, and the bloody knife shoved into her hand.

* James and Sydney attacked in their own home. James, especially, looks so beat up.
* Even after he’s revealed to the public, Adrian still manages to turn the situation to his advantage, setting up his brother to be killed while Adrian himself pretends to have been held prisoner all this time. Cecilia is offered freedom from him as long as she officially states he was innocent, which he may even have intended to keep as it would still mean she’d spend the rest of her life having submitted to him and under his control, a horribly tempting offer after the hell she’s been through. [[spoiler: Fortunately, she does find one way out that he was unable to see coming.]]

* Probably one of the best examples in a Blumhouse movie to date. There is a scene where Cecilia goes outside and takes a deep breath, her breath visible in the cold air...with the [[ParanoiaFuel Invisible Man's breath right beside her.]] What makes it work is that there is no jumpscare noise, no jittering camera moves. Just ParanoiaFuel at its best.

* The prologue has Cecilia sneaking out of Adrian's mansion with constant dread that he might wake up and do some horrible things to Cecilia. Once she reaches the garage, the dog Zeus accidentally bumps Adrian's Audi, while Cecilia is removing a shock collar, and sets off the vehicle's alarm. Cecilia makes a break for the mansion walls to climb over with Adrian now awake and on his way and very angry while PsychoStrings play energetically to emphasize panic.

* The ending scene with Cecilia walking away from Adrian's mansion with Adrian dead can come across as chilling with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-aH9kDKVBY&list=PLnoIi4YKKKd9PVmTuK2V89kAiQ9cQcmC2&index=16 the song "Denouement"]] playing. It's as if the music is conveying that the protagonists got a hard-won victory but something is still wrong.

--->'''Adrian:''' That shouldn't come as a... ''surprise''.

* After hiding at James' house for two weeks, Cecilia is barely able to get as far as the mailbox when someone in a hoodie runs by, causing her to run back inside.

* During a job interview, Cecilia finds that the project she had to present were stolen, and then faints. The doctors find out that it's due to diazapan. This being part of Adrian's ploy to gaslight her is scary enough, but the thing is he effectively drugged her without her even noticing. [[ParanoiaFuel Just think how easy it is for an invisible person to contaminate something that you eat, or drink, to drug you and make you lose control of your body or your mind.]]

* When Cecilia refuses to just have the baby and go back to Adrian in order to make her problems go away, Tom simply remarks that she's not in the right mind to make a decision, and says "We'll be watching."
* James and Sydney attacked in their own home. James, especially looks so beat up.

The next, she catches a glimpse of a knife floating in mid-air, and then in an instant, she's dead. And since Cecilia is the only one around...

** The more terrifying thing about it too is that much beforehand, the Invisible Man was using gaslighting-like tactics to paint Cecilia as mentally unhinged... but now, right there, he ''doesn't care anymore''. He's beating the living snot out of the hospital guards without caring if they now see him (and arguably even provide witness accounts that Cecilia was telling the truth).

* The first sign of Adrian's presence. Cecilia is making breakfast and is called away by Sydney. A knife is knocked off the counter, and we don't hear it fall on the ground. Then someone turns the stove on full blast, starting a fire.

** Griffin in general is just unsettling. Remember, the Griffin from the 1933 film had some appeal to him at least. Sure he was a mass murderer who actually ended up killing a hundred train passengers at his most bloodthirsty, but just try to take the invisible man seriously when he skips down a trail singing a merry song in nothing but trousers. This Griffin does no such thing. Instead, he's a stalker with the means to harass someone without anyone seeing him. Speaking of which...
